option a - day two, highlighter party and emotion potions (tw drugs)

She threw back the potion, ready for whatever ride it took her on, she wanted to make bad decisions, reckless decisions. She wanted to succumb to the magic in the drinks and forget everything that was pounding in her brain and made her eyes burn if she thought about it. Grabbing another, despite it being a bad idea, she offered one to the person next to her. "You should take this, and then you should dance with me." She instructed, not posing it as a question and giving the person a once over, almost challenging.

option b - day two, shots and giggles

"Come on, it's a dollar off for each shot, and I need a wingman to help me out. Will you me my wingman?" She asked, maintaining a straight face for an impressive amount of time considering this was not her first drink of the day. "I'll even share my winnings with you." She offered the friendly face, backing towards the Starlight Bar booth and cocking a figure at them, willing them to follow.

option c - day three, slip and slide

She was already sopping wet, her clothes clinging to her in a way that would make a nun blush, but she didn’t care, giddy on drinks and embracing reckless abandon. Turning to the person next to her she offered a smirk. “Loser shouts the next round.” Without waiting for an answer, she took off in a run before taking a dive and heading down the slip and slide.

She hadn't been able to stay at the hospital, she just couldn't do it. She just wanted to burn alone, to let the pain consume her until she came out the other side. She hadn't wanted to be screaming at the nurses, thinking they were monsters from her past, and she certainly hadn't wanted an audience for her suffering.

The hallucinations haunted her more than the pain. A carousel of old friends, old lovers, old enemies - some key figures in her life, others mere passersby. An apparition of her brother had visited her, as had her half-brother, her parents, and the greyhound bus driver that had dropped her in New York. The only mercy was that the hallucinations made it easier to ignore the pain from the bite marks that danced across her arms, shoulders and neck, and the wound on her arm from where a blade had gone clean though - injuries she would be stuck with until the bites healed.

"¡Qué!" She hissed a as she heard someone at her bedroom door, attempting to fix a withering stare but knowing she would be coming up short while tangled up in her bedding dressed in cute pyjamas and bandages.

@ezekielxcuizon somewhere in the woods, near the border to celestial hills

The seabreeze whipped gently at her hair as she continued to sketch across the page, the shape of the lighthouse amongst the rolling waves slowly coming into detail. The picture was a like a ghost, her hand so light you wouldn't be able to make out the picture from a distance. She was itching to add colour, the green of the sea, the grey of the sky - she wanted to resurrect her ghost.

She spotted his, unfortunately, familiar face as she was trying to keep her sketch pad balanced on her knees while drinking her coffee that had long gone cold. If she was a different person, and he were a different person, she might ask about his familiar, the beautiful bird she desperately wanted to draw. However, they were both who they were, but who she was was tired. "I really don't have it in me to be a bitch or threatening at the moment." She sighed when he was close enough that she sort of had to acknowledge him. "So I would appreciate if you would just act like I've been appropriately horrible."

@gazingatmestarry-eyed; charlie where: rio's house

Rio danced around her kitchen, in a shockingly good mood, music blaring around her loud enough that she was sure it would be echoing off the trees that surrounded her house. She loved living in the woods, far off the beaten path, with no nosey neighbours to make noise complaints about the volume that Sabrina Carpenter was being played at. Despite the volume, she heard the unlocked front door opening. "In the kitchen!" She called out to her visitor, continuing to move about the large room to the beat before collecting the prepared drink on the counter as she finished her own. "I figured we deserved cosmos for... something." She smiled, offering Charlie the drink.

She still felt horrible, but it was more like she was on the way to dying, rather than actively dying. To others it would probably feel like hell, but compared to how she had felt for the past few weeks? She felt downright rejuvenated. "Okay, try this on." The vampire instructed, pulling out the pants, corset and blazer from her closet that was basically a sea of black fabrics. "It will probably result in Ken being the first vampire to die from a heart attack."

@moonglowmagic (dilan) where: peggy's diner

Peggy's was quiet, yet she had still chosen the booth in the far corner, away from prying ears of anyone that might chose to wander in for a bite to eat. She'd arrived early, her coffee already gone cold, but she kept drinking it anyway, tapping a darkly manicured finger against the porcelain as she counted the second. She heard Dilan first as her back was to the diner, and looked up at the fae when she reached the table. "Glad you came."

@hclygrovnd where: sinners

She was a livewire become living. She still hadn't spoken with Dilan, hadn't moved past the flood of negativity that overcame her at the mere thought of the other woman. She didn't know if she could move past it until they spoke, but what that conversation would look like, she didn't know. For now, she took solace in small comforts, tonight's being a stiff drink. Feeling someone sit down beside her at the, thankfully, near empty bar, she turned towards the intruder. “Can I help you?”
